Question

Miss Jackson asked the 32 students in her tutor group which language they study.

Each student studies one language only.Half of the students in the tutor group study Spanish. Six more students study German than French. Find the values of French and German.

Answer 1

French = 5 ; German = 11

Explanation:

G + F = 16

G = 6 + F

6 + F + F = 16

6 + 2F = 16

2F = 16 - 6

2F = 10

2/2 F = 10/2

F = 5

G = 5 + 6 = 11
